tech toolkit 2

Today  I will talk about YouTube.  YouTube has a lot of benefits that we can us. There are many different types of videos online its crazy. There are tutorials that can help you with anything you need help in. I know Khan Academy has a YouTube channel, on their channel they help explain concepts. That is one of the reason I like YouTube, it help explain concepts that teachers are having hard explaining to the class. This is very helping in many types of classroom too not just in math, in history you can use it to show the students the type of environments they past had, or in language learning class you can help the student hear the dialect from multiple sources. Also you can play music in that language as well so it can stick in the students head. I know that worked because my Spanish teacher made us learn the lyrics to " Vivir mi vida" by Marc Anthony. I know how to sing that song all the way. Using videos in a art classroom can be very useful as well. I can show the art history of the topic I'm teaching, I can how the different types of technique as well.  The students can watch videos of other people using a technique to help them use it. The reason I don't like YouTube is like with every technology it can be a distraction. But as a teacher I can show them what to watch in class but now when they are out of the classroom.
